Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (368 grams) rolled oats
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) raw sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
- 6 tablespoons (84 grams) unsalted butter or coconut oil (for vegan)
- 6 tablespoons (120 grams) honey or for vegan, use maple syrup or brown rice syrup
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons almond or coconut extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter or coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, almond or coconut extract, and salt. Mix in the oats.
- Pour the granola mixture onto the prepared jelly roll pan and spread evenly, ensuring no stray pieces are on the sides.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes, rotating halfway, until edges brown. Keep a close watch during baking. Stir and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until lightly browned. Test doneness by cooling a spoonful in the freezer briefly.

Notes
For a vegan option, replace butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup.
Ensure granola is stored in an airtight container to maintain its crunchiness.
